Countdown to Christmas - Day 19 - Treat Box made from Gift Bag Punch Board

Hey y'all!! Did you miss me??? Ha! Lookey here what we are building today!!

These sweet boxes were made with the gift bag punch board and hold 2 ghiradelli mini candies! They have a magnetic closure and are the perfect tiny treat size!!

In my original, I used the presents and pinecones designer series paper, but for the one I made in the video, I used the candy cane lane papers. How appropriate that a candy bag be made from candy paper!!!

To make this box, you will need:

A piece of designer series paper cut to 4 1/2 x 10 and your gift bag punch board. I used some metal rimmed pearls to hide my mini magnet on the front. But you could use a piece of designer series paper too. Just punch a small circle piece. Maybe the big ''eye'' from the owl builder punch would work too. I used the new label punch for my sentiment since I needed something small to fit on the front of the box.

I am not too great at written instructions, so if you want to make this project, watch the video here.

That's gonna be your best bet! Lol.

Come back later to see what day 20 has in store for us. I bet it's something fruity!

Until next time...

Countdown to Christmas - Day 16 - Customer Appreciation Gift

Hey y'all!! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! This is the treat that I have made for my customers that shopped online with me in the month of November.

I am using the lindt lindor chocolate caramel candy bar as the treat inside.

To make this project, you will need a piece of DSP that measures 3 1/8 x 9. On the 3 1/8 side, score at 7/8, and 2 1/2. I simply wrapped the paper around the candy bar and stapled the bottom and top closed.

To make the tag, I used a piece of Crumb Cake that measured 3 3/4 x 2. I punched the top with the tag topper punch and rounded the bottom corners with the project life corner rounder. I stamped the sentiment from the jar of cheer stamp set in versamark ink and embossed it with the real red glitter embossing powder. I just love this stuff!!!

I attached the tag with some real red stitched edge ribbon.

If you want to watch the video, you can do so here.

Come back on Wednesday and see what's in store for Day 17!

Until next time...

Countdown to Christmas - Day 11 - Post it Note Holder

Hey y'all! Thanks for joining me for another Countdown to Christmas project!! Today we will be making a Post it note holder that would be a good for a teacher or coworker as a small gift.

You will need a piece of card stock that measures 1/4 x 7 3/4 and a piece of DSP that measures 3 1/8 x 3.

Score on the 7 3/4 side at 3 1/8, 3 5/8, 4 1/8  Fold and burnish all of the score lines. Take a pair of snips and cut the center piece twice so that you make a "slot" for the pen. That is very difficult for me to explain in writing, so you may be better off watching the video for that part.

To watch the video, click here.

I used the stitched shapes framelits to cut the circle for my gingerbread boy to rest on. I adhered everything flat to the holder because I didn't want anything popping off if someone were to transport this in a purse or a bag. I used tear and tape for my adhesive.

The paper mate pens were purchased at Staples. They are ink joy minis. I'm sure you can find mini pens just about anywhere.

See y'all Friday for a 'BEARY' special project!

Until next time...
